Southeast Asia foresight

by Bastien Alex, researcher at IRIS, François Gemenne, co-director of the Defense & Climate Observatory, member of the IPCC, and Julia Tasse, researcher at IRIS

This thirteenth study report by the Climate and Defense Observatory presents the elements collected on five countries in Southeast Asia: Burma, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam. It is organised around five country profiles, headed by a regional analysis highlighting vulnerabilities and cross-cutting challenges, commonalities and differences.

The five sheets propose four distinct parts devoted respectively to:
➢ Observed and expected changes in the climate (as far as possible over the 2030 and 2050 timeframes) and the impacts that these changes may have on human and economic systems;
➢ A brief analysis of public policies to combat climate change (mitigation/adaptation) but also in terms of prevention and management of natural risks;
➢ An assessment of the role of the military and civil security forces in the management of natural disasters;
➢ To the presentation of crisis scenarios (trend and breakdown) in which environmental and/or climatic parameters play a more or less significant role.
